1049. THE CRUCIFIXION.

_Unknown_ (German-Westphalian: 15th century).

A good example of the strength and weakness of this German art. What is

good are the clothes, which are very quaint and various. The figures

show a ghastly enjoyment of horror and ugliness: notice especially the

crucified thief on the left.
